Las Vegas Aces Women — Indiana Fever Women: 102:85, NBA Women

Las Vegas Aces defeated Indiana Fever 102-85 in the WNBA on Sunday evening. The victory extends the home side's momentum as they move into a tighter race for playoff positioning.

Both teams sit third in the standings after 44 games. The Aces hold 31 wins from 13 defeats while the Fever have 28 victories and 16 losses. To be fair, the gap between them remains narrow.

Las Vegas arrived in Indianapolis riding a wave of results. They beat Phoenix 100-82 on Friday, then took down Los Angeles 89-79 before that. By then they had also seen off Seattle twice in consecutive appearances.

Indiana's recent form told a different story. They lost 86-66 to Minnesota on Friday after winning 96-77 the previous day. The inconsistency showed through on a night when the home crowd never stopped.

The statistics painted a clear picture of control. The Aces shot 38 of 64 field goals while Indiana managed 30 from 67 attempts. Las Vegas recorded 27 points of lead at one stage and finished with 24 assists to 20 for the visitors.

The result keeps both sides level at third place but shifts the psychological advantage. The Aces put the game to bed early and now fancy their chances to finish higher than the Fever, who ended a mixed run with a heavy defeat.
